I think the tech sector in general was always pro-masking, and pro-lockdown/isolation because it was an enormous boost to their entire sector to have everyone shut indoors and reliant on their products to work from home and do other normal stuff.

Idk, the rightwing types seem quite present in the tech ceo roster, and a bunch of tech companies deal with surveillance - and their direct interest is masking not being seen as something normal people do, but reserved exclusively for criminals.

I recall the Zoom guy, at least, wanting everyone back at the office. For reasons, no doubt.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
